Good luck with that. He told a story (supposedly) to the King, and that’s his documentation. Typical Muz reasoning.

A timeline for the development of e-commerce:
1971 or 1972: The ARPANET is used to arrange a cannabis sale between students at the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, later described as "the seminal act of e-commerce" in John Markoff's book What the Dormouse Said.
1979: Michael Aldrich demonstrates the first online shopping system.
1981: Thomson Holidays UK is the first business-to-business online shopping system to be installed.
1982: Minitel was introduced nationwide in France by France Télécom and used for online ordering.
1983: California State Assembly holds first hearing on "electronic commerce" in Volcano, California. Testifying are CPUC, MCI Mail, Prodigy, CompuServe, Volcano Telephone, and Pacific Telesis. (Not permitted to testify is Quantum Technology, later to become AOL.)
1984: Gateshead SIS/Tesco is first B2C online shopping system and Mrs Snowball, 72, is the first online home shopper
1984: In April 1984, CompuServe launches the Electronic Mall in the USA and Canada. It is the first comprehensive electronic commerce service.
1990: Tim Berners-Lee writes the first web browser, WorldWideWeb, using a NeXT computer.

The Saudis are very industrious people. It is amazing what they
think they can do in their spare time in-between sessions of murder, larceny, and goat raping.
Things are coming to a head with the inbred, idiotic Saudis.

Osaimi said he presented the concept of e-commerce to the late King Fahd in 1991, the same year the internet was born.
Guy kills his own lawsuit - simple research - Internet was NOT born in 1991.(1960s - arpanet)
They might mean the WWW, though that was 1989.
WWW was brought into homes about 1994.

So I wonder, do I have to go to Saudi Arabia to sue this guy for stealing my idea? I made my first sale online back in 1985, and maintained a dial-up store until we switched to the web in 1994.

There are no Smith and Wesson designed guns bought in bulk by the US government for the Civil War because they owned the patent on the rear loading design, but refused to make them in .44 and .45 until the government bought the thousands of .32 caliber guns they had been awarded in their patent suit. So, the Civil War was fought with front loading pistols. (Lots of people carried the smaller caliber guns but the government didn’t buy them.)
Pierce Arrow owned a patent on headlights in the fender of cars, so competitor cars continued to use the bullet-on-the-fender design until Peirce Arrow went into bankruptcy in 1938. In 1939 cars that were in the refresh cycle mostly had headlights in their fenders.
A man owned the patent on internal combustion engines and required a substantial payment for each use, which added substantially to the cost of cars. Ford took him to court and eventually won. Had Ford lost there would have been a lot fewer cars and even fewer cheap ones.
The point is, patents and the courts can change history.

I believe Dr. Taylor may have had a little bit to do with it, especially after he left ARPA and went to PARC.

Islam is a mental disease.
People with mental diseases are incapable of coherent thought processes.

The Islamos did issue a fat-waa stating that because telephones exist in islamoland and because phone books and phone manuals have been written in islamotalk, then telephones are an islamo invention.
Actually, if you go back and really look at every single issue of supposed islamo invention, you’ll find it most likely to be captured tech from a conquered people.
